Car Shaking Problems
Car shaking problems are usually the results of mechanical problems. Out of adjustment tires or suspension will make the car shake after reaching a certain speed. Warped brake rotors will also make the car shake when it’s slowing down.

Why does your steering wheel shake when you reach 70mph?
if your car only shakes when you are at certain speeds like 70 i would suggest getting your tires ballanced. tire ballance can cause shakes it usually is within certain speed ranges. example. from 0 to 68 the car fels fine. then fron 68 to 72 it will shake and then from 72 higher it will be fine again.
All spark plugs are rotated clockwise to tighten and counterclockwise to loosen.
Why does your car shake vigorously when you accelerate mostly going uphill?
Hi! I am no mechanic, but will try to offer a few explanations. It is very possible that your clutch has worn out. The clutch essentially consists of two plates which contact when your foot is off the clutch pedal ( or when you are not changing gear in an automatic). The stress of going uphill could be causing the two plates to slip against each other before grabbing again, causing the car to shudder as power is abrubtly applied to the wheels in a staccato way. There may be a smell of burning too. Alternatively, perhaps the engine may not be running on all cylinders, which will result in a clunky sound, or the timing may be out, which will result in what is called pinking. (see the wikipedia site). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_knocking
Hope this helps.
Why does the Front end shake at high speed?
I would suspect wheel balance is the problem but the steering and suspension system such as tie rod ends, pitman arm, idler arm, steering box, ball joints and control arm bushings if applicable should be checked also.
Why do you pass out and start to shake?
The best thing to do is ask your doctor, but I'm fairly sure that is a sign of being anemic (maybe spelled wrong) which has something to do with a lack of iron (or other vitamins) in your body (which causes you to pass out). It could also be from dehydration.
Price estimate for front brake repair on Toyota Camry?
It depends how much you need to replace, if you need to replace the pads only, it can cost about $20 and more depending on state and city. If you need to replace rotors or/and calipers... It might cost ~$400-500 on average and more.
Answer:To take your vehicle to a shop will cost you far more than is necessary. disk brake jobs are very easy to perform on your own with few simple tools. The first time you try this, it may seem difficult, but once you have done it, it amazingly simple. The best course of action would be to find someone, a family member, friend, or neighbor who can walk you through it the first time.Here is a site that can help too: http://autos.kosmix.com/topic/How_To_Replace_Brakes_On_Toyota_Camry?p=al&as=yhoo&ac=413
If you feel you are unmechanical, check your local school district for a tech center or skills center where you might be able to take your vehicle. This is another lower cost alternative to taking your vehicle to a shop.
Front rotors on a 2009 Toyota Corolla run anywhere from 30 to 100 dollars each. As a price comparison, I purchased a pair of front rotors from PepBoys for $119.00. The Toyota Dealership's parts department here in California quoted a set of front rotors at $123.00 EACH. That's double of what I paid. The two rotors are IDENTICAL. I cannot tell the difference between the two. Obviously I went with the cheaper pair.
Front Brake pads will cost anywhere from $20 to $60 a set, depending on the quality that you are looking for. Ceramic Pads are typically more expensive but last longer and are quieter. I purchased a set of Ceramic pads (which included the shims, brake squeal warning device, and grease) for 35.00 at Autozone. Again, the Toyota dealership is almost double the price ($67.50).
On a final note, a maintenance shop will charge you anywhere from 200 - 400 dollars to do the maintenance. Labor is the biggest cost that you'll pay. If you're mechanically inclined, or know someone that is, you can save yourself anywhere from 100 - 300 dollars by doing this simple repair yourself.
What causes vehicle to tremble or shake?
As far as I have been told if it is shaking it needs balancing in the tires, if the wheels when you drive are shifting for one particular direction (left or right without being intended) then it needs wheel alignment.
What causes under 20 mph side to side sway when the steering wheel is not wobbling?
What you're describing is typically caused by either a bent wheel or a "slipped belt" on one or more tires.
Often a radial tire belt can become detached from the radial plies, allowing the belt to slip to one side. When that occurs you'll frequently hear a squeaking or crunching sound from the tire as you allow the vehicle to move slowly.
A slipped belt is not safe and should be dealt with as soon as possible.
At what speed does a drive shaft vibrate?
Drive shafts are balanced to prevent vibration, if yours is doing it you need to check your universal joints, and whether the shaft has been dented or if one of the weights used to balance it has fallen off.
How do you replace car cylinders?
You don't . If it runs on gasoline you can bore out the cylinder (hole) to a bigger size and put an over size piston in it or you can drive in a "cylinder sleeve" which in effect creates a new cylinder.Diesel engines are made with sleeve assemblies that include the sleeve,a piston with pin and piston rings .Sleeve assemblies can be removed and replaced as a unit.
Does low air pressure in tires cause car to shake?
Not typically, but running a tire with low pressure can cause damage to the tire, making it dangerous to drive and causing the tire to become out of balance. A front end vibration (sometimes called a shimmy) is typically caused by an out of balance tire.
Why does my car shake when brakes are applied?
Vibration when applying brakes is most likely warped rotors. Another cause could be loose caliper bolts.
Why does the steering wheel shake when you slow down?
If it does it when you are applying the brake, it is a sign that you need to have your brakes serviced (sounds like a warped rotor or a failed ABS sensor). Otherwise you should have your alignment checked and tires rotated.
Your car shakes when you stop in traffic?
If the car is running fine most likely cause is motor mount(s)
When braking the front end of the car shakes?
It is likely a brake rotor has to much run out (warped). There could also be some problem with steering or suspension components.
What could cause vibration over 70 mph in an E350 ford van?
A little vibration is normal when your doing 70. But if there's quite a bit, you may have an unbalanced tire.
Cause of Rear left tire wearing unevenly?
If it's independent rear suspension, it's been knocked out of alignment. Yes, rear suspension can be knocked out of alignment.
Would hard clump of ice by front tire cause steering wheel to shake?
"BY" it, no. Frozen to the wheel, certainly.
What would cause a car to shake and vibrate while driving?
Out of balance or damaged tire(s).
Damaged wheel(s).
Engine misfire.
These are the three most common culprits.
What is the problem when your car keeps pulling to the right and your wheel is shaking?
The only that I know of is that you need an alignment.
